ScaleIO VMware deployment failed - Cannot clone VM from template

Question

Hello, I have an issue with installing ScaleIO (EMC ScaleIO v1.32-403.2) in my Vmware environment. When I start 'scaleIO vmware plug in'  ->  'deploy ScaleIO environment'  -> I get error from one host: 'VMware - Cannot clone VM from template. Error details: The virtual machine requires hardware features that are unsupported or disabled on the target host' i have 2 hosts with CPU e5-2603 and 1 host with e2140 -> this is the problematic host. It was added only for ScaleIO installation -> test purposes. E2140 does not support VT-X. Is it possible this to be a reason for the error? I tried to perform 'single mode deployment' but installation does not want to continue without select 3 esxi hosts. Enable single mode tick was checked. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance! Kiril

Hi all, The problem was in the CPU. I changed the old CPU e2140 with e9450. The second one support VT-x and VT-d and maybe this was the reason of the error.
